However, the longer you stay in this hobby, the more you will develop that distinctive taste. So if you are buying your first model ship, carefully search for the most interesting and uniquely designed ship that you can get. And start your collection from that one.

4. Create a theme décor.

Once you are on your way to using model ships for house decoration, you will want to buy more and more model ships. If you are not careful, the ships that you will collect will be mismatched. So, right before you start collecting model ships, think about a theme that will blend or harmonize every model ship that you will buy.

Choosing the ships with designs that match with each other will really harmonize all the ships that you will put on display.

Or you can choose to combine old-style ships with the more modern looking ones. Your décor would then be a sort of historical display of ships. If your budget is limited, start with just one ship. But have a theme in mind because it is really something special if you have different ship models on display with almost the same make-up or design.

5. Place them in different places, nooks and corners in your house.

Your model ship displays will be more interesting to the observer if you will not limit them in just one place. Try to select choice places in your house and place one or two in each location.
